The Story 81 a Brave Southern Woman
rs Related by n Scout.
''She was a beautiful woman, and j
have always wondered what mission she
was on The speaker was Mr.. Reid, who
was a scout in the war under Gen. Early.
Zone morning in the valley" he con-
tinued, II was ordered by Lieut.. Atwood,
who was chief scout, to report to Gen.
Early for orders. / rode at once to head
quarters, where I found a finely capari-
Ipned steed with a lady's side saddle on,
standing in front of the tent door. Gen.
Early came out and simply said: You
will go as an escort to q lady; obey her
orders
"Soon a beautiful woman tripped forth
and, leaping on the charger, set out in a
gallop. I followed. We galloped full
eleven miles. Not a word was exchanged.
That evening, when within a mile or two
of the Potomac, l saw a large white farm
house over to the left. Here the first
word was spoken. Refining up she
motioned me to halt, and said;
"Iwin dismount and cote that house.
Take the horses and conceal them in the
woods; feed them and curry them and
come TO the house for your supper She
went ON to the house and / did as ordered.
After we had supper she signaled me to
leave, and ! was soon out and had the
horses ready and waiting in the bend of
the road. She was promptly on hand,
and, as before, set off at a gallop. We
rode all night long, silently. swiftly. As
day dawned we left the public roads and
took across the country. About 0 o. m,
while going across an old field, my fair
companion halted beside a broad, deep
ditch, and beckoned me to her.
place these horses in that ditch, and
get in yourself and stay here until ! come
TO YOU said she. She dismounted and
occupied the ditch as directed, and saw
her disappear through a thick skirt of
woods that fringed the edge of the field.

dinner time when was aroused by what
seemed the very ground in a jar and
rumble. l sprung from the ditch and
crept TO the woDds. and discovered that a
plank road ran just parallel, and that q
very large force Of Federals, artillery,
wagons, etc., was passing down it. ]
soon got back to the ditch, dreading dis
covery by bummers or stragglers; but
was ready TO take care of them il moi
more than one or two had come. But
none appeared. There i laid full an
hour, when a light step and the ~rustling
of a dress caught my ear, and, looking
up, there she stood.
"'Quick, bring out the horses" she
said, which l did. Then, mounting
her own, she handed me a message sealed
up in tissue paper and said: Give that tc

The Genuine Gypsy Tent.

The real gypsy tent is the tent you
never see in pictures or upon the stage.
Take a very old and very much ~discolored
brown hood and set II upon a piece of
green velvet, and you have a very good
likeness Of the genuine gypsy tent. May
be il is twelve feet long, eight feet wide
and six or seven feet high. We take
nicely polished hickory bows, which are
strapped up under the wagons on the
road, run the sharpened end into the
ground, on into the socket pecks driven
In the ground, and then run the other
ends, crossed, through a mortised hickory
ridge pole, and there is our stanch frame.
Then great wooden blankets-thin, to be
sure, but apparently impervious TO the
worst stoms-are flung over this frame,
fastened securely at the sides and back
with little hickory skewers such as those
you find in your roast beef, and there is
the snuggest nest Of a camp home your
eyes ever beheld.- Edgar L. Wakeman's
Letter.

The Jerusalem Of To-day.

The Holy City looked very prosperous
and beautiful from this point Mount o.
ivet), and the wind in the olives made a
pleasant sound; so we stood and looked,
and the sacred teachings from all our
lives came up about us whole and fair,
as they had been before we saw the
Jerusalem of to-day. A rough field lay
all about us, with scanty soil, where the
gnarled old olives, standing apart, looked
Al if they had fought hard for life. And
all over the place wherever nature pre-
dominated over the slight cultivation,
there grew a low bush-they call it
'~'chaparral' in Texas-it is all thorns
and gray; at least, the leaves had not yet
appeared. Everywhere they grew, these
low, thorny bushes; so it was not far
they had to seek the Masters crown.
On top of the mount there are a few
dirty novels and a mosque with a high
minaret, from the top of which we had a
beautiful view. The Dead sea, lying
blue and still, low down among its ver-
dureless hills-the course of the Jordan
outlined in neutrality-suspicious.
and all about the white roads winding
away among the curving hills.
Another view we had which equaled
this: II was from a hill top on the road
to Bethlehem. From this we saw the
Dead Sea and Olivet, Jerusalem and Miz-
pah, Bethlehem, and all the fair green
plains where still the shepherds watch
their f1ocks. By the time one makes the
journey to Bethlehem, however, one has
become dull and unenthusiastic. The
town is dirty and the guide talks on in
~cessantly; the manger, a neatly finished
marble box; the Altar of the Star, the
Altar Of the Innocents, the tomb of st.
Jerome and the tomb of st. Paula seem
all to be Of equal value in the eyes Of the
Franciscan brother who shows them tc
you.-Courier-J journal.

IT is curious coincidence, says the
London JcWish Chronicle, that all the
Jewish artists of any importance in
England have had Solomon as part of
their name. We have had Solomon
Hart, the Royal Academician, the great
Abraham Solomon, and among lesser
lights several Solomons, including
Simeon Solomon and now We have
the name of Solomon doubly borne
by one Of the most promising English
Artists of to-day. By his "Cassan
dra " of last year, and by his "Sam-
son in this years Royal Academy, Mr..
Solomon J. Solomon has achieved
position in English art but rarely
gained by SO young n man. He is,
too, the son Of a "hard-shell " Jew,
TO use Mr.. Goodwin Smiths strange
but expressive phrase.
Or. Frank II. McGeorge, of Corning,
n. Y, has recently secured, in GU
rious fashion, a genuine Maggini violin
of great value. He found it in the
bands Of blind fiddler near Oswego,
who used it to saw off time for the jigs
and reels of village dances, and bought
il for So. The instrument was brought
to this country years ago by an immi-
grant, and in time it fell into his
grandson's hands. He kept it for
years in his garnet. Mice knawed
through the sound-hole and built coy
nests inside the instrument. Occa-
sionally the children of the household
would get the old fiddle down from the
garnet to use it as q playtaing, fasten-
ing a string to its neck and go prancing
with it about the house. The violin
was in hard shape when it was brought
down from the garrett and sold to the
blind fiddler for a trife. DIR. Nc
George took the instruments to August
Genunder, the Astoria maker and the
best authority on violins in the conn
try. He pronounced it genuine Paolo
Maggini OF about 1913.

Facts About Fingers.


White hands with rosy palms, so be-
loved of our grandmothers, have gone
out Of fashion.
The American hand is smaller than
the English hand, but the nails are not
as handsome.
1t is said that people with imagina-
ton are apt to have long, taper fingers
ard beautiful tinger-nsils.
The good-natured critics are said to
possess small, well-shaped nails, aud
Their handwriting is somewhat angular
The American nail suffers from the
dryness of our climate. as a foreign pie
tuIe painted on panel suffers from the
same cause.
Diplomacy has a long, supple hand
and beautifully-kept fnger-nail. The
handwriting Of a diplomatist looks like
Il snake crawling away.
An aptitude for criticism is shown
among people who bite their nails.
These people are cynical and severe,
uncbaritable and bitter. They write a
small, cramped, illegible hand.
Tie Chinese have finger-nails so long
that they could write with them. The
tenacity of the Chinese nail, which
does not easily break, would indicate
that they have more lime in their bones
than we have.
The English nails are almost uni
vorsally rosy and shell-like, and, cut to
a rounded, slightly tapering point, kept
always scrupulously clean. The skin
at the base is pushed back to show the
onyx, a little white halt-moon.
The onyx Of the finger-nails is care
fully cultivated and polished by the
crcoles of New Orleans to show that
they have no black blood in their veins.
No matter how fair the complexion,
the valuable sign of pure blood is want
ing to the octoroon if the onyx is
clouded.
